“If a YSL Tribute boot dropped acid at Woodstock and got knocked up by a cowboy boot, then maybe their offspring would look something like this.” — Seventeen-year-old Jane Aldridge describes her new vintage boots on her blog, Sea of Shoes.

Denise Williamson’s been a part of New York’s fashion industry for almost twenty years.

She made it through FIT, worked in house at Calvin Klein, fooled around with showroom ideas, networked her way into one of the most successful PR and branding companies in the city and now runs the showroom, Williamson PR and Williamson Consulting.

Our discussion was meant to revolve around her day to day life, but instead it took a few philosophical turns into the state of the fashion industry and what she sees in the future. Of course, we also talk about her clients, including Trovata, Jen Kao, Kimberly Ovitz, Raf by Raf Simons and Madeleine Thompson, her kid and the fun parts of working so hard.

This story on Allure’s blog, originally from The British Telegraph, particularly struck me just now in light of all of your comments on the Cintra Wilson quote, as well as just the heated tone of comments on the internet in general.

Here’s the deal: A woman’s Facebook friend posted an incredibly derogatory remark about the size of her nose on her wall. Said woman was apparently already self-conscious about it and this remark was the last straw in her decision to get plastic surgery. She now says she thinks this person did her a favor. Wow.

This makes me incredibly sad. But I feel there are probably so many stories like this happening every day, perhaps not the point of plastic surgery. The anonymity allowed on the internet (though obviously not the case in this particular story) leads people to say things they might not in person. Especially regarding a person’s appearance. This is perhaps even more likely at, say, a fashion or beauty site.

JA in the BK: Jonathan Adler’s newest store is opening tomorrow…and it’s right by my apartment which makes me very happy. Atlantic Ave is well on its way to becoming a hip shopping drag. {Racked}

Going Concern: That’s the name of the newest addition to our Breaking Media family! It’s super dishy goss for the accounting/finance exec/CFO crowd - and there is lots of juicy stuff going on in that world. You know you’ve got a few people who fit that description in your life. Spread the word, dear readers. Spread the word. {Going Concern}

Breathe In, Breathe Out: That’s my mantra when I get really envious of Sea of Shoes, because after all she’s a kid and I’m a grown-up, a grown-up without Margiela cowboy boots, but still. Now she and mom are in Vogue. I also keep reminding myself that jealousy isn’t pretty. {Sea of Shoes}

Ann Demeulemeester’s lace-up sandal booties are the shoe of the summer.

During the resort shows, we spotted three different Vogue editors in the brown and others in black, Sea of Shoes is obsessed and given our neighborhood we see an inordinate amount of models on a daily basis and wearing only these of late.

But we never really expected it to translate to the masses, it’s a Fashion with a capital “F” shoe which isn’t snobby, just fact - like a Balmain shoulder or a Chris Kane gorilla dress - that probably won’t rein in big bucks on Broadway.

Though Urban Outfitters’ Free People is taking a chance anyway. A reader sent in this link to their $198 copy. Pretty ballsy considering the Ann D’s were on sale for just over $300 a few weeks ago.

Silver Fox: Jeffrey Monteiro’s resort collection’s already made its TV debut, courtesy of our noted girl crush, Kim Gordon performing on Jimmy Fallon. Though even a Sonic Youth appearance makes it hard for us to stomach that show. {StyleFile}

Invention Convention: Fashion’s most ethically minded innovators get recognized. Reading this cleared our palate of the NYC Prep aftertaste. {Vogue UK}

Urban Dips Into Sea of Shoes: What do you think of Jane Aldridge’s first collection for UO? We’re not in love, but that flat is kinda cute. {Refinery29}

Less is More: Or so Saks thinks for the upcoming year. Translation: if you want your size, you have to shop early…and don’t expect the discounts you’ve seen lately. {Bloomberg}

Nudie Ladies: Finally, outtakes from Terry Richardson’s Pirelli Calendar shoot. WARNING: There are lots and lots and lots of naked boobies. {VanityFairIT}

Hallelujah: Is there anything wrong with the fact that only one photographer and one model have been booked for the August issue of French Vogue? Not when Inez & Vinoodh are shooting Daria. {WWD}

Are You Ready: It’s that time of year, when the fashion blogosphere holds its breath in anticipation of Fall ads. So far, Marc Jacobs throws Natasa V out the window and Calvin Klein casts Jourdan Dunn. {TheFashionSpot & Fashionologie}

Mellow Yellow: Have you seen this yellow Margiela clutch Sea of Shoes Mom has? It’s amazing. Also, Sea of Shoes Daughter is designing shoes for Urban Outfitters, but we’re not supposed to know that. {SeaOfShoes}

Put This In Your Pipe & Smoke It: Malin & Goetz have made a cannabis candle. Meanwhile, Abby just told me that Anna Wintour once disappeared with Bob Marley for a spell way back when. {Nylon}

Thirty Days Hath September: Someone at the Daily (someone lucky) got a hold of The September Issue and posted a play by play. Then it came down due to a glitch, but not before someone else re-posted the best bits! {Fashionologie}

Italian Woman: Lenny Kravitz & Donatella talk shoulders, Zoe, models and Gianni. {Interview}

I Heart New York: Jane from Sea of Shoes posted pictures of her trip to NYC, including a to-die-for sequined biker jacket her mom picked up, minus Vogue of course. {SeaofShoes}
